Question

A prism has a volume of 72. if the dimensions of the prism are tripled, what is the volume of the new prism?

Answer 1

we have that
scale factor=3

we know that
[volume new prism]=[scale factor]³*[volume original prism]
[volume new prism]=[3]³*[72]-----> 27*72-----> 1944 units³

the volume of the new prism is twenty-seven times the original
